Things other than brewing: A glimpse behind the scenes at Eternity

The
fermentation process for beer takes at least a full week and we typically allow
our beer to condition much longer than that, meaning some beers (like lagers)
can be in a tank for up to 2 months. Why am I telling you this? Because there
is a lot more to being a brewer than brewing. In fact, it’s the “other” things
that take up more time during the week.

Here
is a sample of what our typical Mondays look like at Eternity Brewing.

Chris
comes in to clean kegs. We take care to check the cleanliness of our kegs,
inside and out. Happy kegs means happy beer!

One
of Paul’s jobs is to clean tap lines and faucets. This is the final journey of
the beer into your glass, so clean tap lines and beer faucets are critical to
clean beer aromas and flavors!

One
of Zac’s jobs is to check the fermentation stages of each of the beers in the
fermenters. This ensures fermentation is going at the pace it should and gives
us a clue as to when we can start our conditioning processes.

This
is just a glimpse of some behind the scenes work that goes into our product and
our company. We are so excited to have these gents working with us. They are
all hard workers and are passionate about the beer and Eternity!

Happy 2016! We look forward to joining you in a journey filled with family, friends, and BEER!
